Frozen Charlotte

It's been ages since I made a treasury, so it was high time that I did. What better subject for a cold winter's day but Frozen Charlotte?

Frozen Charlotte is a name used to describe a specific form of china doll made from c. 1850 to c. 1920. The name comes from the American folk ballad "Fair Charlotte", which tells of a young girl called Charlotte who refused to wrap up warmly to go on a sleigh ride and froze to death during the journey.

About Me

An odd Midwestern grrrl, prone to wandering about in used bookstores and contemplating how things may be taken apart and made into other things. She may also be found shilling her shiny wares to afford such pursuits.
